The Roughness of the Ocean

How my mind slips away My words I can’t convey My time is delayed I try to meet myself halfway The trees around me fall The sounds not sweet at all The leaves trickle off That’s when I takeoff I leave the scene behind me I cross the deep sea As I watch the debris Fall all around me I feel lost in this strange land I just want to withstand The hurricanes and storms The pain that this forms And hope that I transform When the rain comes down to meet me I blink clearly able to see Changes guarantee I’ll find life’s key The hidden answer lies out there I can’t find it anywhere I search and search but life falls around me I try to swim as I musee The thoughts are not clear From life I float in fear That the debris will take me down If the answer is not found I call out to Mother Nature for help and guidance She says there must be a balance Of love of hate of fear of being brave She says I must pave The way for a new day I must learn how to say not what to say I must not be the cliche or disobey For she watches everyday I learned that all the debris hitting me We’re lessons I learned to see The roughness was for me to foresee The beauty inside of me I am the one who holds the key
